Sometime between 6pm and 7:20 pm yesterday, I lost internet for the rest of the night (until I think 11am or 12pm -- I had glanced at my connection at 10am, it was still out, and then was kinda wrapped up in some other stuff; unfortunately it meant missing a rocket balloon in Go if it did get restored a bit before noon).

Being without internet is tough mostly because it's usually a constant in my professional and personal life. Cell service sucks around my house, so it's my primary method of communication with friends, etc (I would say family, but I haven't talked to my brother in 5 months now -- just a matter of he doesn't call/text, I don't call/text (although I know they're up to from his wife's Facebook posts) -- although I suppose I keep up with a few cousins, as well as the folks). At any rate, that reliance makes it feel a bit like you're cut off from the world when it's not available. (As well as the smaller issues when I kept trying to do more basic things, only to realize I couldn't without internet -- such as emailing myself a file so I could work on it on another computer (which I guess I could use a thumbdrive for but... ehhhh....)

Like I noted in the last topic, I have a mountain of DVDs -- including things I haven't watched -- yet what did I do? I saw what I had stored locally on iTunes on my computer and, because I guess Deadpool hadn't downloaded, I wound up re-watching The Dark Knight... although this time I got bored when Batman goes all NSA, stopped it, and then started Hobo with a Shotgun (which I watched a few months ago), felt bored, and stopped that as well. I guess this also reminds me how used to multi-tasking I am, since I find it hard to watch something without also doing other things. (Then there's the whole issue that only one of my working laptops has a DVD player anyway, and that's the one with more games installed.)

I finally wound up playing Skyrim again (after some UMvC3 while watching TDK). I couldn't remember what I had been working on, but it's kind of a pick-up-and-play RPG so I went to go explore a few locations after finishing a shorter quest. After some shorter things, and trying to find a hidden chest in Broken Oars Cavern without any luck (unless the chest I found *was* the one referenced in the journal, but there wasn't much loot in it), I wound in Torvald's Cavern (or whatever) while trying to find a mine to clear of spiders for another small quest (again, why the internet is helpful here as well) and realized that it's probably the entrance to some Dwemer ruins... and, as I get further along, I'm starting to think that it might be the same location I first encountered Dwemer ruins during the first time I played.

At any rate, now that I have internet, I can finally order that sentinel (and I realize that the shipping will probably be $50-100 given the size, weight, etc).

trapped like deer inside of our homes,

I don't get the reference =x

The Wave Master posted... Opening Question: What color (Green) Lantern Ring best fits with your personality or world view? (Green, Blue, Violet, Indigo, Red, Orange, and Yellow)

The yellow lanterns / Sinestro Corp always appealed to me since it's a fear-based faction and I've long been a horror fan. However, the Orange Light of Avarice also speaks to my personality as a collector / hoarder.

Black & White don't count. (You're not dead or Saints)

But I am a god!

The Wave Master posted...

What would be your secondary color and why?

I guess I answered Yellow or Orange for the first question, so logically the second would be Yellow or Orange. Green (will) and Blue (hope) also rank up there. Out of all of them, Red would be the weakest fit.

It was literally the last post of the previous topic. It doesn't matter now, though, because I retract my suggestion since it'll no longer be of relevance the next topic around. So I'm out. Thanks for everything.

Yeah, when I saw the last post in the topic, my reaction was "Oh shit, guess that's the new topic name," and was surprised when it wound up being this.

I'm sure we can give you double or nothing on the next title, though, since Wave promised to let you pick one >_> As for the relevance of your last selection, I don't get the reference but if it's a COVID thing, I'm sure we'll *still* be having trouble with that shit by the next topic (although I guess we'd probably have an election-themed one)
